Points saillants

Hikers and scramblers should be aware of the potential for avalanches on routes and trails leading above treeline. Some very thin ice climbing has been happening, but skiing is still out of the picture.

    Enough snow has fallen to create winter like conditions up high. Be on the lookout for pockets of windslab especially in confined features and after periods of new snow.

Snowpack Summary

Two significant upslope storms deposited 80-120cm of snow in the park in between late September and early October, which melted down low and persisted up high and on north facing slopes. This has been covered by sporadic snowfalls from late October into November.

Avalanche Summary

There have been no recent avalanches reported, with little data available. If you do head out we would love to hear what you find in a MIN report.
